Five Elements

The foundational framework of Chinese metaphysics: Wood (growth), Fire (expansion), Earth (stability), Metal (contraction), Water (flow).

What this means

They interact through productive (Wood→Fire→Earth→Metal→Water→Wood) and controlling (Wood→Earth→Water→Fire→Metal→Wood) cycles. Used in Ba Zi, Feng Shui, QMDJ, and ZWDS.

In practice

In KAXANTA, five elements is one of the concepts KAXANTA cross-references when synthesising your reading. It runs through all nine wisdom traditions so you can see how the same question reads through multiple lenses.
